TOPIC: Home Inspector Pro 2.6.6.4 Beta Released

Hi Guys,

We're releasing Home Inspector Pro 2_6_6_4 BETA for Windows. The Mac version will follow shortly. I planned on waiting a little longer before releasing another beta version but we had to make some changes for the Texas 7A-1 form (some cosmetic changes pointed out at a TAREI conference and by a few of our users) so we might as well get some of the other updates out to be tested as well. You'll be happy to know that there are no more Texas documents to delete each update as they no longer exist   There are 3 new templates included in this update as well (noted below).

If you are in Texas, please go to Edit Documents , go to the Texas OP-I form and set the section to 'Do not include.' Read below for more info.

This will be posted on the message board if you'd like to discuss the latest updates. We have a lot more in the works but we're not 100% complete at the time of this release.

New Fetaure: Added in IAC2 Mold Template. Thanks to Drew Levy for creating this.

New Feature: Added in a second, more detailed Commercial template. Thanks to Drew Levy for finishing this up.

New Feature: Added in another residetnial template, named Residential Template 2. Thanks to Russell Spriggs, InterNACHI Chapter President in Idaho for creating this.

NOTE: TEXAS USERS. One of the TREC attorneys has informed us that they do not want the OP-I form included in the Additional Inspector Info area. Go to Edit Documents and set this section to not print. Their is a debate about whether it's allowed at the end as an addendum either. We will keep you informed when we get a final answer.

New Feature: Added the option under Report Settings->Upload to mark if a report is Paid or not. This will show on the report upload site and will soon allow for payments and the blocking of reports until paid (note compelte yet).

New Feature: The font type & color that you choose for your item description will now be used in your summary as well.

Design Change: Renamed Default Template to Residential Template. This will not effect your current templates name.

Design Change: When you click on Photos->Clear All Photos you're prompted to confirm you want to clear all the photos (a few inspectors brought up they accidently clicked this and erased their work).

Design Change: Texas ratings are now hard coded into the report when you select Texas Cover page. This means there will no longer be a need for the Texas documents. You can remove them through your document editor.

Design Change: Quite a few cosmetic changes were made to bring the Texas form more in line with the TREC 7A-1 form. The rating headers were moved into a block at the top of every page. The TREC code was placed in the bottom left corner of each page.

Design Change: Removed the Save Template As from the file menu as it was redundant with button on toolbar.

Design Change: Removed Edit Comments mode on/off from the Report Settings menu as it was redundant wtih button on toolbar.

Design Change: If the % character is used in the Client Info or Agent Info it will be removed before uploading to prevent the error.

Design Change: Prevented copying or moving a tab within the same page in the template editor to prevent conflicts. For now you can copy it to another section, edit the item names then move the copy back. In the future we'll create a work around to copy within the section.

Bug Fix: If only listing your company City and State the extra comma before the city name has been removed.

Bug Fix: Fixed problem with a blank second page appearing if you entered in every field on the cover page, used a logo and the other text box.

Bug Fix: Fixed problem with a bank page at the end of the report if the last line of the report ended on the last possible line on the page.

Sincerely,
